According to a report published by The Mirror, Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud looks poised to leave Arsenal during the January transfer window with Crystal Palace and West Ham looking to sign him.
Giroud has endured a frustrating season so far and has yet to make a League start this season following the arrival of Alexandre Lacazette.
He will also be aware that he will need to play as regularly as possible if he wishes to make the France team for the 2018 World Cup.
Giroud has accepted that he will need to leave Arsenal if he wishes to keep his international career on track.
However he and his wife Jennifer who is pregnant with the clubs third child do not want to go far away and wish to remain in London.
‘Olivier does not want to disturb and uproot his family,’ The Mirror quotes a source as saying. ‘Ideally, he wants to stay but he needs football – there are options in London for him.’
